Sunday February 25th Atlantis


New Horizon in her perfect spot at Atlantis, she is facing west and looking over at the outdoor theatre. We are ready to depart tomorrow for Great Harbour Cay which is the most northern tip of the Berry Islands. 
Now Nana was unable to get a reservation at the Gospel Brunch however after attending mass at St.Francis Xavier Cathedral today in Nassau there was no need. The mass lasted from 8.30 am to 10.15 am with one of the best choirs on the island. A truly moving experience. Afterwards we drove to The Ocean Club which is at the opposite end of paradise island for brunch so that we could visit the Versailles Gardens.

The Ocean Club is now a four seasons resort and certainly lives up to it description as a chic, contemporary style and classic elegance. We paid $20 to valet park and $110 for breakfast just so we could walk the grounds and visit the gardens which are really magnificent. In 1939 Dr Axel Wenner-Gren , a Swedish industrialist, created a private estate on paradise island which included a large house and the beginnings of intricately landscaped gardens modeled after those at the Chateau de Versailles.


The property has ocean front beach access and exudes peace, relaxation and elegance. You would certainly feel pampered here.


Nandad looking like the lord of the manor. After breakfast we did some quick provisioning , returned to our slip and Nana went to the beach at the Cove for a few hours. The boat is once again ready to get on her way and our plan is to leave early tomorrow for approximately 80 nm cruise.
